covciing tlio Alnlmimi, hvauVil lii vessvl nut to

hud reached a ilistuuce of uhout seven milet
the AIiiIiaiiia following in her waliu, at a ilis
.niicu of about a mile and il half, the roliel ring,
n sunn tu bo struck, flaunting oancily in the
breeze of nuiriiinir.
After reuoliing an offing of almut soven miles
the Keuranrge slackened speed And turned her
port aide toward the Alnliniiia alowly, allowing
the latter to approach her. While, bringing
tier port tide to bear upon the Altilmmii, for the
purpose of fighting the buttle on that aide, the
Kearaarge, renurving her lire, and a deathlike
ajilenoo prevailing on board, permitted the Ala
linmit to approach within a diatanoe of twelve
hundred ymiis. The Kearaarge bad five gtma
with which alie fought the buttle, mounted on
lie port aide, her crew not being suflioii'Utly
largo to work tlio whole seven guns on one
tide,
When the Alabama had arrived within the
dintiitico above mentioned, alio opened the com
bat with a broudnide Uied ut the Kearsurge.
The Alubama fought seven of her guns two
imoro than were lined by the Kcursargo, and
lio on her atarbnard aide. None of the almte
truck the Kearaurge, one or two paaaing over
itnd the rest falling short, The reverberntiona
of the onnnon, and the wicked, whizzing Bound
which the shot made in parting through the air,
however, exoited the men, who were anxious to
return shot for shut. Captain Window, how
ver, deemed it wisu to allow bia antagonist,
vidently flushed with the hope uf a speedy
nnd art easy victory, to upprunuli still nearer.
The Alabama, still approaching slowly, fired a,
Sjocnnd and a third broadside, none of the ehntc
however, taking eflVct.before the Kearaurge M
tarned a idiot.
When the proper distance seemed to be ob
tained, Captain Winslow opened Ilia batteries
ipnu the rebel, and poured broudside ufter
broadside into her us rapidly us the gunners
could load and fire. A lively scene was now
exhibited. The moment it WU4 known that
the Alabama wit leaving port, the people of
the town, who for some days had been on the
qid vine, begun to Hook toward the entrance to
the port and before the first gun wits fired
ihuodred were gazing from the high cliffs and
eminences which surruund the port. The first
sound f cannon shot, distinctly heard in this
town, brought out all who hud been wailing for
certainty, and a crowd of excursionists, hav
ing just arrived from Paris, without the moat
remote idea that one uf the prettiest contests of
the age was to be thrown in for their amuse
ment. In a few minutes thousands of people
were gathered upon the hill-tops looking out
upon the open sea, where the contestants were
engaged in deadly strile. All the military and
naval authorities of the port were assembled
. there, with spy glasses in their hands, and wit
ncssed the light with great satisfaction. Even
with the nuked eye ibe combat could be dis
tinctly observed ; for the day was purticulurly
fcrigbt nnd clear. After the Kearsarge opened
her batteries on the Alabama, a rapid and con
tinuous lire was kept up from both sides. Each
fv teasel, of course, kept her steam up, and each
B stilling ill a circle ill ll uiri'uiiiui iippm-iiu iu
jfe other, keeping the starboard battery bear
St; upon her antagonist.
'spectators describe ttie maneuvering nt uotn
vessels as beautiful. Tbev continued iinnrnncli.
ing each other until, toward the end of the
fight, u distance of about five hundred yards
eparated them. Tlio Aluhutna fired much
more frequently than the Kearsarge, ami wasted
much mure of powder and ball. Generally
her shots were badly aimed, wild nnd high.
Evidently her forte was to attack nnd awe into
sjurrender unarmed merchant Vessels, hut from
the Cret tlio firing Irom her showed that she
as nut competent to grapple with the trained
and disciplined ore w of a vessel of war. Many
allots, however, struok and cut the rigging of
the Kearsarge, without indicting, however, any
erioos damage the shrill whistle of every
hot, as it flew over their heads, exciting the
rew of tlio Kearsarge. and rendering thoiu
more than ever determined to conquer.
The light commenced nt twenty minutes past
ten o'clock, and lusted just one hour ami live
minutes. During this time four shots lodged iu
the hull of the Kearsarge. Eight shots in nil
truck her hull. One rille shut passed entirely
through hur smoke-stack, another rifle shell
through her starboard-side, below the main rig
tng, near the shear- plank, bursting and wound
ing throe men, canting tlio only casualties to
theorew of the Kearsarge during the light.
One of these men.' a man named Dempaey.
had his arm taken off, and tlio others received
fractures of the legs. Another rifle-shell struck
ouder the etern and lodged in the rudder post
without exploding; nuother carried liwny the
larboard lifebuoy ; another scratched the ham-niock-nettiiig,
aft. Three thirty-two pound
hots pawed the port-side, nppoeito the word
. fom Latch. Auol her carried uw ny one of the
- -cranes above the wardroom hatch, and taking
slanting direction npwirrJ. passed through the
bottom of the cutter on the pott side Another
' ride-shut struck the top of the engine-room
kyliglit, cutting clear across it like a suw, and
finally passed through the skylight window.
Jijveral struck the starboard light, hut th ir
force was broken by chains bung on the aide to
over and protect the boiler. These, therefore,
caused no damage. Shots were continually
whizzing through the rigging like hailstones,
iaud it seems almost a miracle that more casual
ties did hot occur.
The first shot noticed as producing any ef
fect upon the Alabama struck her amidships,
hut in her upper works, making a pnrceplilde
gap, hut doing little or no serious damage.
About half-way through the fight an eleven
inch shell exploded on the Alabama's deck,
near one of the divisions, killing IS out of the
19 men. and scattering bones and flesh in all
directions, cutting one man entirely in two.
One isf the Alabama's crew said that the
scuppers literally "ran blood." Third Lieut.
Wilson also says that he nan knocked down
four times, hot escaped without a wound. From
the deck of the Kearsarge it could ho plainly
seeu that her effective and destructive lire was
seriously injuring (he Alabama, and al each
shot struck her side loud cheers went up from
the crew of the Kearsarge, more than ever eu
thusiaotio by a speedy prospect of success. Du
ring the eutiro light the men (whose first bap
tism of fire this was) acted with the greatest
coolness and determined conrare.
One hundred and seventy-four rounds were
fired during the fight from the Kenrsarte, and
it is computed that the Alabama fired at least
twiee that number. At a quarter pastil it
was ohnerved that Cpt. Si.-inines hnd alt.-red
Ins opinion in relation to tlio chill and prowess
of his Yankee antagonist, and arrived at the
conclusion tint " discretion wo the belter
part of valor;" had, in short, as nnr amiablo
i'resideiit once elegantly expressed it, decided
to "turn tail and run." lie veered round and
ciiuuieuced steaming in the direction of the
French coast, evidently desirous of placing
himself as speedily as possible within the Inn
its of the "marine league" which marks the
Jioundary between Kreuch territory and the
common ocean.
The Kearsarge immediately followed, the
Alabama continuing to fire her stern gun.
Kinjfig that the speed of the Kearsarge. who
w-'ajrsjpidly jaining on her, was superior to
hers, the Alabama slackened speed, nnd it was
' rerejrtcil llut she bad struck her ting and
seemed to be settling ; lujl her boats were not
lowered, because, as was aftcrwnrda learned,
they bad been shattered by the shot from the
Kearsarge. No white ting bring seen Inun the
Ke.irsarre. she delivered another final broad
side, which d:d more damage tlnu all the pre
vious ones, The white fi tg was run up from
the Alubama, aud a boat I'mm berupproaebed
the Kearsarge. The firing thou ceased. The
iioat was under tlm ctiuiiuaml nl an English
iillicer.hclougiiig to the Alaliuiiiu, who informed
dipt. Winslow that the hitler was in a sinking
condition, and asked for boats to rescue .the
men. All the uvuilable boa. a of the Kearsarge
Were how lowered nnd mantled ; but b foro a
tingle one could reuch her the Alabama went
down down clear and straight to the bottom of
the ocean. Shu was at this lime about six
miles outsido the port, and about live hundred
yards distant from the Kearsarge. The iiion,
as she was sinking, jumped overboard. Many
were doubtless drowned how many is not yet
known. Shu hud about the same sized crew
us the Kearsarge, and aeventy were all that
worn saved by the available boats of the Ala
bama and taken from the water by thoso of tlio
Kearaurge. Fifteen of those they saved were
wounded. Two of these died after being res
cued, and the carpenter of the Alabama, one
Robinson, was picked up dead and perleutly
naked.
A new character now appeared on the
sceuo. An English yacht steamer, belonging
to the Royal Yucht squadron, named the Deer
hound, and owned by a gentleman in Liver
pool, came iu eight of the Kearsarge immedi
ately upon the disappearance of the Alabama.
It seems the had been at anchor during the
early part of the notion, hut toward its close
weighed anchor aud steamed away outsido of
the Kearsarge, afterward passing under her
stern. Captain Winslow hailed ber aud asked
her assistance in rescuing the drowning men of
the Alubama. She proceeded toward them,
lowered her boats, which were seeu to pick up
a few rueu, and then without approaching the
Kearsarge again steamed away, and spread
ing her canvass headed towards tlio English
coast. , . ---
A few scattering men were picked up by
some Froiidi pilot mid fishing bouts and tak
en into Cherbourg. Aftkr saving all the men
she could find, the Kearsarge took a pilot and
came into Cherbourg, arriving here about two
o'clock, without, it is believed, any serious
damage, although it will require her some
weeks probably to repair.
I met Captain Winslow lust evening, in'
company with the surgeon and fursur smith,
at tlio American Consular 's Agent. I um
greatly indebted to alt these gentlemen, and
particularly to the purser, who has sat up with
m nearly all night detailing the particulars
which 1 have given you. The otiioors are of
course all in high spirits. Captain Winslow is
evidently as inodoat ns he is brave and de
termined. In response to my "God bless you ;
you have made yourself immortal," he simply
replied that he was glad to have been the in
strument Iu ridding the ooean and the world
of such n pest ss the Alabama. He is a short,
thick-set, good-natHred looking man of nlnut
fifty, and i looked upon by the people hero us
a great hero.
Thus ended, with the destruction of the Al
abama, one of the neatest little naval battles
which has occurred during the war. Let tjie
country rejoice and render homage to the gal
lant fellows who so gallantly fought and won it.
CHARACTER Of uEJT. O'HAXT. '
Grant is a brave man, not only leurlessin nil
necessary exposure of his person iu buttle, hut
oool, calculating, nnd clearly administrative in
danger. A splendid horseman, and of greet
personal endurance, perhaps he is seen to beat
advantage on the field uf buttle directing the
movements.
He is a true man; true in his aims, and in his
adherence to them ; true iu speech and in not.
Ho has no tortuous policy, no subterranean init
neuvres. He does not parade his thoughts, in
deed, he dw'S not mean one thing and say un
other. He hue no talking girt, mid ho culti
vates silence, which, if speech be bumnn, the
philosopher declared to bo divine. Ho is no
bonster, nu temporizer, no dreamer; he builds
no Arcadian ensiles. He id simply a straight
forward actor; between his thoughts, Words and
deeds there is an exact nccordauce; unci very
often the thought nnd deeds dispense with the
words always, when possible.
He is a man of strong will und great mental
endurance, not disheartened by disaster! alwnys
ready to retrieve it. Vicksbuvg iu especial
demonstrated this. Repulsed at the north, he
tried the cut-oil'. When that would not do, he
lauded on the south. Threatened by iho rebel
armies gathering in his rear, he besieged the
town. Repulsed in his attempts tu storm the
works, he pushed forward tlio siege, and at
ngtn V leksliurg tell, Deeause Urant adliereil
to his purpuse.
He is a generous man, renny to giro lull
credit to his co-workers and subordinates. lie

.Sherman, Mul'lirison and others with no stint-
d culoL'iuiu. With such a iroiieral, men can
work; for such a chief they w ill do all in I heir
power.
Ho is an uiinmbitinus man. This needs n
word of explanation. Ambitious men seek, us
the great end of their labors, self-exaltation.
Urant has thus far worked for the good of the
country. Each battle has been for it without
ulterior view. II (jod sends liouest lame ns the
reward, he does not disdain it; hut it must he a
sequel, not an aim. Heaven preserve nun long
from tins "last intiriniiy in nomo minus:" it

some of our best men.
In a concluding word, he is strong, iron, liv
ing, busy, honest, a capable a-f-susiaiiicdoom

Providence, in whom, after ull, we must put
our trust. He has large and varied talent

mon sense," and with that the power ami de
termination to "go ahead," which we have
lacked more than anything else iu this war.

CiucAoo, Aug. 3. Details of the lute engagement

condense the following i '
The llrat ultucliiiig column, comniwcd of 1st and 2d
brigades of Ludlie'a division, followed by the 35t.li
Miissiichusotta, witli entrenching implement, pushed
forward to the charge. They hud moved but a few
yards, huwever, when they received a tremendous
volley from the enemy, who dnnhilesa hud been put
on the alert, through noise made by the concentration
of our troopa, und iiinvcmenta of artillery and trains,
during the night a close to their front.
Aliliongli tlio explosion hud destroyed the rebel
redan, it hud nut moved the ubnttia ohstrnctiona in
fiuut, mul the uxsuihmiB bud great trouble with this
iu working their wuy through them.
A purl uf the attacking party advanced for aome
distuncu to the right of the fort, and curried a part of
two lines of lire-islworka, connecting tlio fort with
the QiHin lino to the rour of it. About S,'iO prisoners
were captured in the entrenchments und ritle pita, and
sent in. Aa toon aa our troops readied the worka, the
eneuiy commenced a heavy musketry ttre on two
sides of an angle which their breusiworka formed. In
rear of the Fort, aeverul batteries opened with shell,
grapu und shot.
Aotwituetuiimug me iremeuuous lire aguinsr ino
rebel line bv our heavy butteries, the uuemy's Urn be-
caioC .ntenhilicd the advance ul our column toward
Cemetery Hill, about 400 yards beyond the sort,
which llsnv were ordered to carry wiui checked. Our
troops eott'uht refuge behind the ruins of the breuet-
works und rillo pas. Two iiuuutes utter Jjouiiu a di
vlflon moved Iu the ntturk, Patten's und Wilcox's di
visions of aome curne moved to the right and left of
the worka, and several utlenitite were umde to con
tinue tlio assault i but ail fuiled, under awcepiug lire
of the enemy.
About u o clock, one ol I' ems colored di
visions was ordered to move forward to the
right of the fort on Cemetery flill. aud ad
vanced steadily until they got under the enfi
lading iiro of the enemy, when, instead of
keeping to the right of other divisions, the
blacks got confused, and rnsbed pell-mell
among our troops in and about the fort. The
interior of the lort after the explosion had the
form of u crater, the upper part being about
60 feet In diameter. It was already crowded
from top to bottom with troops. Tlio negroes
rushed in from all sides in n etut - of terror and
confusion. The enemy in tlio meantime, as
they could he seeu from our main line, rnpidly
moved their forces from right aud left to the
threatened part of the hues about tlio fort.
Now both infantry aud artillery firo became
more and more severe. Again they made at
tempts to charge from the front, hut their
troops could not do it. Small parties com
menced trying to run back from the fort to our
itiuiu Hue. and gradually became inure and
more numerous; quite a number mnnnged to
get ihrongh. The distance was about 150
yards. The men iu running back had to cross
the field which was swept by the rebel fire.
Hundreds of them were killed and wounded.
The enomy, perceiving the confused condi
tion of our troops, resorted to an offensive ad
vance several times, but wero driven baok by
our lire. About ten o'clock, when most of the
batteries had ceased firing, the ei'eniy made a
graud charge, and occupied most of the ground
in renr of the fort. No sooner had their yella
and volleys announced their charge than a vast
swarm of our men, mostly negroes, were seen
rnshing ont from under cover, towards our
lines. Hulf of these were shot down. Iu giv
ing the order of attack the Tilli corps wns mass
ed on the east, and the 0th and 18th corps
on its right, with the 2d oorpa in reserve. When
it was ascertained almut 7 o'clock that the Uth
coiiis wiui not making any headway, I'ntten's
and Turner's divisions pushed forward and
gained a position as fur advattced us that held
by the Oik corps, hut this had uo decisive ef
fect; the numbers of both corps, in and about
the front, became materially reduced by teu
o'clock, nnd the men ure fulling hack to our
line; what remained continued lo hold the po
sition until after 1 1 o'clock, wheu orders were
Issued to full back to their original position ;
the orders were executed promptly, except iu
one point of the rebel fort. Efforts were made
to get orders to them, but several officers iu at
tempting to carry them were shot down.
